Prosody team says we should implement XHTML-IM instead of sending Markdown #114

@Link Mauve, XEP-0071: XHTML-IM is deprecated. Was it superseded?

NOTE: I'm creating the issue here because it's about the client, even though it might make sense to put it into prose-core-client too. Feel free to move it.

This is debatable. Sending plain Markdown like Prose currently does, degrades better and also works much better via bridges to other major team-chat platforms that all support plain Markdown (except Matrix which uses a HTML mess).

@poVoq Fair point.

What do you mean by "does degrades better"?

poVoq commented 1 week ago

Markdown text in clients not implementing a markdown parser is still pretty readable and the overall intend is mostly understandable.

AFAIK xHTML-im does support a plaintext fallback, but then any formatting is lost completely if a client does not implement a HTML parser.

I think the compromise XEP is this: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0481.html

Well it's exactly what's being said in Prose's #general MUC 😌
